England demolishes San Marino; World Cup qualifier

A Devastating Win for England over  San Marino in World Cup qualifier, As they thrashed San Marino by 8 goals to nil.

England put in a professional performance against San Marino to run out 8-0 winners in their 2014 World Cup qualifier.  Alessandro Della Valle scored an Own goal and gave England 1 goal lead at the 12^th minute as Wayne Rooney raced into the box. The own goal was soon followed by one from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, The early own goal by Della Valle did’nt help the home side and after Defoe made it 3-0 after 35 minute, it was all over.

But England weren’t finished yet after Young crashed a spectacular 35-yard drive in off the underside of the crossbar for his first goal of the season. Three minutes before half-time Lampard got in on the act, with the Chelsea midfielder marking his 95th appearance and made the score 5-0.

The Manchester United striker was clearly desperate to get his name on the scoresheet and clipped a magnificent 25-yard free-kick over the wall and past a helpless Aldo Simoncini. San Marino tried couple of shoots but all of them were off target.

At the 70^th minute Roy Hodgson made a substitute and replaced Ashley Young with Daniel Sturridge, who made his first international appearance and scored a beautiful header. 7minute after Sturridge’s goal Defoe made it 8 for England and won the match.

Everyone knows San Marino have won only once in their 214 matches in their entire history, against Liechtenstein in 2004.
